View, download, and export

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and am seeking guidance on whether the following task can be automated.
Each month, I need to send the files I've uploaded to my Dropbox account to a specific email address. Is there a way to automate this process?
To give you some background: I regularly upload my daily expenses in PDF format to my Dropbox account. Previously, my accountant would retrieve these files via a shared link I provided. However, he's now asked that I send the files directly to an email address, where his accounting software will automatically process them. He finds the previous method too time-consuming.
Maintaining my current workflow is important to me for a couple of reasons. First, having my own organized file structure in Dropbox allows me to easily retrieve specific expenses whenever needed. Second, I frequently upload files by simply scanning them with the Dropbox app, which is incredibly convenient.
Any advice or suggestions on how to automate this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!
There isnt a way to do this via Dropbox I'm afraid.
The only thing I can think of is to look at something like IFTTT and see if they are produce some automation rules for you.
